"When calories DO and DON'T count"...
I just read this aritcle, from "Real Age" (Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Oz) about calorie counting! #4 is interesting, as is the confirmation that women should not eat less than 1200 calories, as it can be counter productive!…

alli
Has anyone used alli? What results did you get from it? I'm trying to decide whether or not to try it, and my sister wants to use it as well. I am, of course, skeptical of any claims they have on their website. Just lookin' for a little feedback. Thanks :smile:

Scale Suggestions
Well, I think my scale at home is broken:grumble: You can step on it ten times and it'll give you around ten different weights. Everybody has a scale at home here( I'm assumeing) So is there a type or brand of scale that is better. You know price wise, durability, size and such. It would be a big help. Or should I just get…

Anyone see Ali from TBL couples on Ellen?
here is the link if you haven't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yc-22Bp_cg she still looks great. What a good attitude she has. I think she should be a motivational speaker. I can't believe she is 12% body fat, that's awesome, that's what I WANT to get to. That's not as hard for a guy as for a lady, but that just makes it…

A whole month without getting sick!
Yay! We made it a whole month without getting sick at my house. It was inevitable though, my son caught a cold and now I have it. I'm skipping the gym until I feel better but I don't really have an appetite either so that's good, I guess. Those of you have children will appreciate this. When they first start (or change…

Will my metabolism slow down?
This weekend, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I will be eating and drinking under 1000 calories a day because I will be at the Coachella music festival in southern California. Food is really expensive and when you're running from stage to stage trying to see bands, you aren't really focused on food, but more so the…

PeriMenopause, Menopause and Metabolism
Are there any others out there who have had a problem with this? This, I believe, has been my biggest weight loss challenge. I finally went to the doctor about it, thinking it was an antidepressant I was on (and have since weaned myself of) and he said it is definitely a hormonal (or lack thereof) problem. You find you…

After school, my daughter and I walked around the mall today. Afterwards we stopped to get a bite to eat. She chose A&W.

What's the "norm" for those gaining weight during their 1st
I gained weight in the first 2 weeks. I know that's accurate, I have read about the changes in metablism/muscle gain, etc. But I actually gained 12 pounds in 2 weeks. I'm doing a LOT of cardio bu riding bikes at the fastest pace I can 3 miles every other day. The other days I do strength work. I give my body 1 day of rest.

Floating poop

How do I change my weight under goals?
I keep reading that you need to change your weight under your goals to adjust the number of calories you are allowed. When I went to my goals, my weight was correct as it adjusted itself. Is there something else I should be doing?

Help! I need a stopwatch...
Hubby and I have taken up running but our fancy phones don't have a stopwatch feature in them so we can't time ourselves accurately. Do any of you know a store which carries stopwatches or even the cheap watches with a stopwatch function? I was going to run and get one while work is slow, but it has to be close, so…
